The Calligraphic Writing Tools (read more on the right side column) include the decorative Insular Majuscule TTF font and a large set of individual Celtic calligraphy letters in their different forms; many letters in the book of Kells change depending on which letter they are close to; we have drawn most of the variations. Those individual letters in the writing tools folder are intended to be used in a graphic program like Adobe Illustrator, FreeHand or Corel Draw to replicate the Celtic calligraphy in authentic to the period looking pages.

Writing Tools
A font is not enough to recreate a block of text similar to those written in past ages; particularly the text of the Book of Kells and the Lindisfarne Gospel. Simply, we can not reproduce all the variations of a character necessary to connect to neighboring characters with only one letter.
The writing tools included in this CD are aimed at a more skilled group of users. Assembling a title or a line of text letter by letter; or converting a block of text to outline and then replace some of the characters from the font with the ones from the 0_characters_pool file requires the use of vector graphic software like Adobe Illustrator, InDesign or FreeHand, etc. therefore, requiring familiarity with those programs.

This Insular Majuscule font has been designed for use with graphic and editing software, keeping in mind the capabilities of a graphic artist or a graphic designer. In conjunction with the other writing tools available in this CD, it works wonderfully with applications like: Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, PageMaker, Macromedia Freehand, Corel Draw and many other professional programs.
Some word processing applications and other lesser programs don’t reproduce well the kerning of the fonts or simply don’t have kerning capabilities; irregular spacing of characters may occur when using this font with such software programs.

Vector Graphics
Each decorative image and element is meticulously hand-drawn. Many advanced designers will find our vector file versions with the following desirable feature: preserved, original hierarchies and groupings to facilitate modifications and enable the extraction of unique elements. Though resolution-independent vector formats insure high-quality reproduction at any size and allow complete latitude for pre-production modifications, our CD collections also include common pixel-based file formats of each graphic and a vector format supported by Office applications for desktop publication.

Due to the nature of our product (CDs can be copied before returning) we cannot accept returns and issue refunds. Defective or damaged CDs will be exchanged for a new copy of the same item. Therefore the sale of this software CD containing clip art vector images is to be considered final.
